for most front facing child restraints.
Never let children who require the
use of a front facing child restraint
ride in Roadster models.
Children need special protection. The
vehicle’s seat belts may not fit them
properly. The shoulder belt may come
too close to the face or neck. The lap
belt may not fit over their small hip
bones. In an accident, an improperly
fitting seat belt could cause serious
or fatal injury. Always use appropri-
ate child restraints.
Never let a child stand or kneel on
any seat and do not allow a child in
the cargo areas while the vehicle is
moving. The child could be seriously
injured or killed in an accident or
sudden stop.
Your vehicle is equipped with a supplemental
front impact air bag system for the front passen-
ger. See “Supplemental restraint system” later in
this section. The passenger seat is not suitable
for use with a rear facing child restraint needed
for infants. Therefore, infants should not betransported in this vehicle.
All US states and provinces of Canada require
the use of approved child restraints for infants
and small children. (See “Child restraints” later in
this section.)
Also, there are other types of child restraints
available for larger children for additional protec-
tion.
InfantsInfants up to at least 1 year old should be placed
in a rear facing child restraint. Because a rear
facing child restraint is not suitable for use in this
vehicle, infants should not be transported in it.Small childrenChildren that are over 1 year old and weigh at
least 20 lbs (9 kg) can be placed in a forward
facing child restraint (except Roadster models).
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for mini-
mum and maximum weight and height recom-
mendations. NISSAN recommends that small
children be placed in child restraints that comply
with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. You
should choose a child restraint that fits your
vehicle and always follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for installation and use.
Larger childrenChildren who are too large for child restraint
systems should be seated and restrained by the
seat belts which are provided. The seat belt may
not fit properly if the child is less than 4 ft 9 in
(142.5 cm) tall and weighs between 40 lbs (18
kg) and 80 lbs (36 kg). A booster seat should be
used to obtain proper seat belt fit.
NISSAN recommends that a child be placed in a
commercially available booster seat if the shoul-
der belt in the child’s seating position fits close
to the face or neck or if the lap portion of the seat
belt goes across the abdomen. The booster seat
should raise the child so that the shoulder belt is
properly positioned across the top, middle por-
tion of the shoulder and the lap belt is low on the
hips. A booster seat can only be used in seating
positions that have a three-point type seat belt.
The booster seat should fit the vehicle seat and
have a label certifying that it complies with
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Ca-
nadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Once
the child has grown so the shoulder belt is no
longer on or near the face and neck, use the
shoulder belt without the booster seat.PREGNANT WOMENNISSAN recommends that pregnant women use
seat belts. The seat belt should be worn snug,
and always position the lap belt as low as

CAUTION
For Roadster models, when installing
a booster seat, be sure to turn off the
automatic passenger seatback tilt
function with the seatback tilt cancel
switch (located on the back of the
passenger seatback). Otherwise, the
booster seat may be damaged. See
“Tilting and reclining passenger’s
seat from driver’s seat” earlier in this
section for detailed information.
Remember that a child restraint left
in a closed vehicle can become very
hot. Check the seating surface and
buckles before placing your child in
the child restraint.
In general, child restraints are designed to be
installed with the lap portion of a lap/shoulder
seat belt.
Several manufacturers offer child restraints for
children of various sizes. When selecting any
child restraint, keep the following points in mind:
Choose only a restraint with a label certifying
that it complies with Federal Motor VehicleSafety Standard 213 or Canadian Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
Check the child restraint in your vehicle to be
sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s seat
and seat belt system.
If the child restraint is compatible with your
vehicle, place your child in the child restraint
and check the various adjustments to be sure
the child restraint is compatible with your
child. Choose a child restraint that is de-
signed for your child’s height and weight.
Always follow all recommended procedures.
The passenger seat is not suitable for use with a
rear facing child restraint for infants. Therefore,
infants should not be transported in this vehicle.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require that infants and small
children be restrained in approved child
restraint at all times while the vehicle is
being operated.

vehicle body.
Do not place anything in the top stor-
age area. The top will not fit there
properly, and this could damage the
top and/or the vehicle body.
Do not sit or place excessive weight
on the top and the storage lid, espe-
cially when the top is being operated.
The top may be damaged.
Do not drive the vehicle with the top
partially opened. Always make sure
the top is either fully opened or
closed before driving.
Secure items so that they cannot be
blown from the vehicle while driving
with the top open.
When a child restraint is installed in
the passenger seat, be sure to turn
the seatback tilt cancel switch (lo-
cated on the passenger seatback) to
the CANCEL position, or the child
restraint may be damaged.
Make sure the trunk lid is securely closed before
operating the top.
WHEN OPERATING THE TOP
WARNING
Keep hands and other parts of the body
away from moving parts such as the top,
storage lid and power windows.
CAUTION
Keep all parts of the top linkage clear of
obstructions, or the top latch may not be
securely locked.NOTE:
In case of low battery or low tempera-
ture, the top may temporarily stop mov-
ing during the operation. This functions
to protect the top control mechanism,
and it is not a malfunction.
If the top is opened and closed repeat-
edly in a short period of time, it may
stop moving to protect the top motor.
Wait for a few minutes before operating
the top again.

Incorrect tire pressure, including un-
der inflation, may adversely affect
tire life and vehicle handling.
WARNING
Improperly inflated tires can fail
suddenly and cause an acci-
dent.
The Gross Vehicle Weight Rat-
ing (GVWR) is located on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label. The
vehicle weight capacity is indi-
cated on the Tire and Loading
Information label. Do not load
your vehicle beyond this capac-
ity. Overloading your vehicle
may result in reduced tire life,
unsafe operating conditions
due to premature tire failure, or
unfavorable handling charac-
teristics and could also lead to
a serious accident. Loading be-
yond the specified capacity mayalso result in failure of other
vehicle components.
Before taking a long trip, or
whenever you heavily load your
vehicle, use a tire pressure
gauge to ensure that the tire
pressures are at the specified
level.
Do not drive your vehicle over
85 MPH (137 km/h) unless it is
equipped with high speed rated
tires. Driving faster than 85
MPH (137 km/h) may result in
tire failure, loss of control and
possible injury.
For additional information re-
garding tires, refer to “Impor-
tant Tire Safety Information”
(US) or “Tire Safety Informa-
tion” (Canada) in the Warranty
Information Booklet.

TIRE LABELINGFederal law requires tire manufacturers
to place standardized information on the
sidewall of all tires. This information iden-
tifies and describes the fundamental
characteristics of the tire and also pro-
vides the tire identification number (TIN)
for safety standard certification. The TIN
can be used to identify the tire in case of
a recall.
1
Tire size (example: P215/65R15
95H)
1. P: The “P” indicates the tire is de-
signed for passenger vehicles. (Not all
tires have this information.)
2. Three-digit number (215): This num-
ber gives the width in millimeters of the
tire from sidewall edge to sidewall
edge.
3. Two-digit number (65): This number,
known as the aspect ratio, gives thetire’s ratio of height to width.
4. R: The “R” stands for radial.
5. Two-digit number (15): This number is
the wheel or rim diameter in inches.
6. Two- or three-digit number (95): This
number is the tire’s load index. It is a
measurement of how much weight
each tire can support. You may not
find this information on all tires be-
cause it is not required by law.
7. Tire Speed Rating. You should not
drive the vehicle faster than the tire
speed rating.

WARNING
It is extremely dangerous to
ride in a cargo area inside a
vehicle. In a collision, people
riding in these areas are more
likely to be seriously injured or
killed.
Do not allow people to ride in
any area of your vehicle that is
not equipped with seats and
seat belts.
Be sure everyone in your ve-
hicle is in a seat and using a
seat belt properly.TERMSIt is important to familiarize yourself with
the following terms before loading your
vehicle:
CurbWeight (actual weight of your
vehicle) - vehicle weight including:
standard and optional equipment, flu-ids, emergency tools, and spare tire
assembly. This weightdoes notin-
clude passengers and cargo.
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) - curb
weight plus the combined weight of
passengers and cargo.
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rat-
ing) - maximum total combined weight
of the unloaded vehicle, passengers,
luggage, hitch, trailer tongue load and
any other optional equipment. This in-
formation is located on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label.
GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) -
maximum weight (load) limit specified
for the front or rear axle. This informa-
tion is located on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label.
GCWR (Gross Combined Weight
Rating) - maximum total weight rating
of the vehicle, passengers, cargo and
trailer.

Total load capacity - maximum total
weight limit specified of the load (pas-
sengers and cargo) for the vehicle.
This is the maximum combined weight
of occupants and cargo that can be
loaded into the vehicle. If the vehicle is
used to tow a trailer, the trailer tongue
weight must be included as part of the
cargo load. This information is located
on the Tire and Loading Information
label.
Cargo capacity - permissible weight of
cargo, the subtracted weight of occu-
pants from the load limit.
VEHICLE LOAD CAPACITYDo not exceed the load limit of your
vehicle shown as “The combined weight
of occupants and cargo” on the Tire and
Loading Information label. Do not exceed
the number of occupants shown as
“Seating Capacity” on the Tire and Load-
ing Information label.
To get “the combined weight of occu-
pants and cargo”, add the weight of all
occupants, then add the total luggage
weight. Examples are shown in the fol-
lowing illustration.
